A translation Dying flames - Stervende vlammen

I found an old friend back and we had a catch up by email. We discovered that we both started to write poetry later in life. I read many of hers and love them. She wanted to read one of mine as well but I never wrote something in Dutch.
This one was not so hard to translate
Voor jou Albertine; een van mijn gedichtjes

Well Marja we all certainly agree about the poem, the vibrant painting and connecting with an old friend.......life can be wonderful.Your poetry is very visual....."her arms like unfolding petals.....her muscles stretched like stings of a guitar", beautiful my friend!Keep shining your wonderful lightPeggy xxxxxx

How nice to rediscover old friends! Sometimes it is only later in life when we find time to delve into the arts interrupted by the busyness of younger days. I enjoyed reading your work … your creativity shines throughout this blog.

Beautiful words you have penned dear Marja.. a true talent for poetry .. And I am so pleased too that you reconnected with a friend who also enjoys poem writing.. sending you love and Hugs your way.. Sue xxx
